I remember now - it was you&I who discoursed about moral law. I fear that the way we use language is so very different that I become diffident of consensus ... not least because I have such trouble figuring out what you mean. In re moral law, I was under the impression that we'd settled that there was, and could be, none that met my expectations of a law. But here you make clear that you counted your response as a "win".
I am not seeking to reopen the discussion. I am having an "oooh!" moment of realization regarding the protean nature of our verbal discourses.
I still don't see moral law in human conduct ... because for me a law is a defined thing useful in deciding controversy. For me, a law by definition is not vague. We do not share that premise, so I will disengage with as much grace as you'll allow me.
